I normally disagree with everything Aggy says, but I have to agree on this
one. Obviously the Beeb is run by kids straight out of college who think they've got to be a clone of the ITV channels and latch on to everything that's "new" and "fashionable". It's complete ******** - there is absolutely NO need for the Beeb to use DOGs. They don't compete for advertising, so they don't need to obsess about stupid branding tricks like these. In fact, perhaps the absence of any DOGs would be a stronger branding statement than any stupid pinky purple graphic. SteveT |

I stopped watching BBC3 the last time they did something like this, and stopped watching BBC2 when they started having banner adverts during programmes. Is it really worth missing programmes you'd like to see just because of a logo? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. If people like you actually did stop watching because of this instead of just pretending, you wouldn't just be dismissed as some sort of weirdo. No, the BBC would just shut the station down or fill it with repeats. |

Hi,
Sorry I'm even going to scroll down to the bottom. NO, I will not complain to the BBC, they do not care! A complete waste of time. Sorry but it true. -- Regards, David Please reply to News Group "Agamemnon" wrote in message ... Complaint to the BBC and to the Torchwood production team. http://www.bbc.co.uk/torchwood/faq/contact.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/compla...istageform3.pl BBC3 has become totally unwatchable because of the hideous gigantic new bright purple and white DOG which has been inflicted on viewers with no consideration given whatsoever to the damage it will cause to their Plasma, CRT's, OLED and even LCD screens because of burn in, or to their eyes for the same reason. On tuning in to watch the new episode of Torchwood the DOG was made even worse and more offensive by having the word "new" written under it, as if I was so stupid that I didn't know that they were showing a new episode, like I wouldn't have known if I had not seen it before and despite the fact that BBC2 had already announced that it was a new episode to begin with. No only does the DOG unnecessarily take up a quarter of the screen because it is so huge, but it has been placed towards the middle of the image and is lit up so bright at maximum intensity that it is as obtrusive as it could possibly be. The only way I could watch Torchwood without being distracted or half blinded during parts of the episode when it was dark which was 95% of the time, was to cover up the DOG with silver foil and even then the DOG was so bright that it shone past the edges of the foil to a radius of one centimetre in all directions, causing even more damage to the phosphor on my TV. I DEMAND that the DOG is removed from all BBC3 programmes immediately otherwise I will not watch BBC3 ever again, just like have never watched FiveLife or FiveUS since they started because the gigantic DOGs are so offensive. I am fed up of having my intelligence insulted by the BBC and other broadcasters since I know what channel I have tuned into and can always find out the name of the channel that's on at any time by pressing the info or EPG button on my remote control. Do not bother replying to this complaint with another copy of your insulting standard reply letter which does not address any of the issues I have raised otherwise I will complain again, and will take legal action against the BBC for the damage the DOG is causing to the phosphor on my TV and to my LCD display. |

Ironic he was watching Torchwood which is little more than Russell T Davies poofter fantasy brought to the screen. If theres an episode where 2 men don't kiss I've yet to see it. B200 |

Ditto, but not to the extent that I would write such a nonsensical letter of complaint The DOG is IMHO OK if semitransparent as I think the previous DOG was. This lurid shade of pink/purple is distracting to me and I might even be minded to send a note to the BBC asking them to reconsider their dogging, but I can imagine the response that might get Regards Ged |

LOL! They'll have a RIGHT LAUGH at you when they get that letter. It'll go straight in the BBC Nutter File where it belongs. You have a great talent for making yourself look stupid, and, even better, you alert others to how stupid you are! Hilarious. Thanks for the entertainment. Do you work for the BBC or something? Maybe you're a marketing idiot for BBC3? I can't see any other reason for being such an apologist for something that people clearly hate.

I was mocking Aggy for his nutty letter to the BBC, not the fact that the DOG is unnecessary. It's really a big fuss over nothing isn't it? Come on, lighten up. |
